Books by Douglas (Victoria University of Wellington Pearce

Destination research today has become increasingly fragmented as studies become more specialized. This book provides a systematic examination and combines spatial and organizational structure across destinations from the national to the local scale to produce a comprehensive understanding of destinations and a complete integrative framework of them.

Frameworks are the foundation of good scholarship. They structure, organize and communicate research, underpin individual studies and shape the field of study as a whole. This book provides the first comprehensive and systematic review and critique of frameworks for tourism research.
